Group Policy types
Circular Group Policy
This Group Policy will route calls in the order specified by the list of assigned users, starting with the agent who has answered a call most recently. If the call rings for all assigned agents, the cycle will start again until the call is answered, or the call overflows due to Busy or No Answer conditions.
Regular Group Policy
This Group Policy will route calls in the order specified by the list of assigned users, from beginning to end. If the end of the list is reached, the call overflows due to Busy or No Answer conditions.
Simultaneous Group Policy
This Group Policy will have the same call ring on all assigned handsets, allowing the fastest agent to answer to take the call. Calls may overflow due to Busy or No Answer conditions.
Uniform Group Policy
This Group Policy will route calls in the order specified by the list of assigned users, starting with the agent who has been idle for the longest. If the call rings for all assigned agents, the cycle will start again until the call is answered, or the call overflows due to Busy or No Answer conditions.
